Physical Education
Think-Move-Achieve-
Work hard to be the best version of yourself and always be proud of what you achieve!
Mr. Lau joined our school community and physical education program in September 2017. He is an individual who is in constant pursuit of becoming the strongest version of himself. With this mental fortitude, he aims to help our little ones grow to become the best versions of themselves. Mr. Lau is a recreational powerlifter and has a background in fitness. He also loves to jump rope and cruise around town with his electric scooter! After graduating from the Queens College Physical Education program, Mr. Lau joined NYC Men Teach, which is a partnership between the Office of the Mayor, the New York City Department of Education and CUNY that aims to improve the diversity of the NYC teaching workforce. In addition to NYC Men Teach, Mr.Lau also serves as a Professional Learning Community Facilitator at our school. A PLC facilitator networks with other P.E teachers from the same district and collaborates with them during monthly meetings to find solutions to common problems of practice. Mr. Lau's vision for the Physical Education Program at PS329Q is to improve our student's overall Physical and Health literacy. Physical literacy is the ability to move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.
